While many often ignore this sin, even clergy, Mrkvicka and his co-author, Kelly Mrkvicka, have written a book that gives hope and guidance, while reclaiming lives through the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;Mrkvicka stresses that by far many are choosing death, including spiritual death, in their lives, instead of life by choosing to be part of an adulterous affair. The author gives the reader a firm biblical foundation on the subject of adultery, arms the reader with the truth of God&amp;#39;s Word, while exploring society&amp;#39;s view on adultery and relationships.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;Candidly stating the truth in love, the authors, write with compassion and mercy to others about this often controversial and delicate subject. The author is concerned that this 21st century plague has become such an epidemic, therefore, compelling them to write this book so that help and guidance can be offered to the many innocent that are being led to the slaughter in droves by the sin of adultery without their knowledge. The author notes that most people view adultery as wrong, in fact over 88 percent feel that adultery is a sin; the statistics state, however, that over 77 percent of marriages today have been involved in an adulterous affair.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;It is the author&amp;#39;s hope that many an eye would be opened and likewise that many will come to salvation through repentance and step into the light of the Lord, versus walking in darkness. This book offers no excuses, nor apologies, but gives the truth of the Word of God. This book is truly a blessing to the body of Christ and to all who read it.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;As the author reiterates over and over, there is hope. There is a way out. There is truth and life to be found, but only in Jesus Christ. For there is one hope, and that one hope is the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ. Come, read, know the truth and be set free.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;For more information about the author, his ministry and the book visit &lt;a href="http://www.edwardfmrkvickajr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#2288bb"&gt;Edward F.

Surviving a horrific family tragedy, Antionette Campbell, witnessed the unimaginable. As a young child her life was filled with abuse, then at the age of 11 she witnessed her enraged drunken father assault her mother with a knife. As she watched her mother&amp;#39;s lifeless body, it was a miracle that she was not killed. As a result, her siblings and her were taken away into custody and Antionette was forced to testify against her own father.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;This event and the history of abuse sent Antionette into a pit of despair that entrapped her most of her young life. She offers her heart and soul through this journey that became the poems of hope as she triumphantly declares that God has turned her tragedy into triumph. Author Antionette Campbell offers hope to the hopeless and reaches out to those who are broken and spiritually bankrupt. This illumination of her book continues to give those who read it life and hope in God. &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;br&gt;  &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Antionette Campbell has a unique writing style that boldly proclaims the absolute healing power found in Christ. As the author states, &amp;quot;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter who you are, how deep you have fallen into despair or how tight the chains of bondage are around you, God&amp;#39;s power can set you free!&amp;quot; The author speaks of being transformed from the inside out and into a wonderful new journey. There is healing and new life that&amp;#39;s only found in Christ.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;For more information about the author, her ministry and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;From a Legend and Kingdom of Darkness into Poems of Hope&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; visit the author at &lt;a href="http://christianreading.com/antionettecampbell/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#caa762"&gt;Christian Reading Antionwtte Campbell&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;br&gt;  &lt;div align="justify"&gt;A &lt;a href="http://www.christian-book-marketing.com/html/press_releases.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#caa762"&gt;CBM Christian Author Press Releases&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;###&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8683520958447765182-4049919280974326189?l=compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com/2012/05/author-press-release-author-antionette.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (In His Glorious Name Ministries Online)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OsbmKroHGrU/T7GqAHq318I/AAAAAAAAD6Q/dJ8xqqWzykY/s72-c/christian_%2Bauthor_antionette_campbell..jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683520958447765182.post-6384281439530567474</guid><pubDate>Fri, 27 Apr 2012 03:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-04-26T20:31:48.111-07:00</atom:updated><title>Another Great Book by Author Cliff Ball - Times of Trouble, A Christian Fiction Novel</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DqKaTQU4NGM/T5nc0JCQz5I/AAAAAAAADxY/t9XcTSI6GgA/s1600/Author_Cliff_Ball.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 252px; WIDTH: 182px; FLOAT: left" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DqKaTQU4NGM/T5nc0JCQz5I/AAAAAAAADxY/t9XcTSI6GgA/s320/Author_Cliff_Ball.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Author Cliff Ball&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has had a passion for writing since he was ten years old. His works fall under the category of speculative fiction. All of Cliff&amp;#39;s books have a theme that will will keep you on the edge of your seat. In the last ten years Cliff has penned such thrillers as: Out of Time in 2008, Don&amp;#39;t Mess With Earth in 2009, The Usurper, published 2010, Shattered Earth, published in 2010, New Frontier, published in December 2011, Dust Storm, published in Demcember 2011, and Voyager and the Aliens, published in 2011. His most recent work is Times of Trouble: an End Times novel, published February of 2012.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Read More about Times of Trouble: an End Times novel-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thirty years in the future, the U.S. government has turned into a tyranny as the EPA and TSA grow with ever more power.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Brian, the main character, tells his story from first person point of view. His work with the FBI involves mostly cyber terrorism and actual cases of potential real world terrorism. Eventually, his wife gives birth to their third child, who has Down&amp;#39;s Syndrome, which does not please the U.S. Health Administration because there are rules and regulations set-up in cases like these to prevent &amp;quot;genetic freaks&amp;quot; as they like to call them, from sucking up a lot of Health Admin money. Because the Atwoods are born again Christians, they never considered aborting the baby, so now the Health people have to take him away to deal with the problem later.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;Meanwhile, the Secret Service decides to recruit Brian to be the personal agent of the President of the United States, David Collins, due to his great work involving a case that dealt with terrorism that would&amp;#39;ve involved Offutt Air Force Base. Brian&amp;#39;s faith is tested every day as he deals with a man who has no morals from what Brian can see, and is tested even more when his wife finds out that she&amp;#39;s dying from a fast growing form of breast cancer. Trouble in the rest of the world occurs as Iran attempts to nuke Israel, which fails spectacularly, so Israel takes care of the problem. This brings condemnation from everyone, including the U.S., which takes the side of Iran.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;When the re-election of Collins doesn&amp;#39;t turn out the way he wanted it, he and his people declare the election nullified because of supposed &amp;quot;irregularities&amp;quot; with the ballots. Collins claims that the new President-elect may take the seat sometime in the middle of next year, if everything looks to be sorted out. Collins purges his staff of what he considers unloyal people, including Brian. At the same time, he loses his wife, but regains the son he thought he had lost.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;Brian moves back to his family home in Nebraska, where we follow what happens as the country slowly falls apart. Events play out as Brian and his family sees the End Times approach.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Author Cliff Ball currently lives in Lewisville, TX.

If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?" (Rom 8:31 &amp;amp; 32 NASB)&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Doubt, pain, frustration, confusion, tears, a roller coaster of emotions; all have been my companion over the past few months. Reassurance, reminders, expressions of love, holding me close, peace where there is no peace; all have been The Father's response to my questions.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Yesterday's Daily Bread devotional was in Romans 8, my favorite NT chapter. When I checked my email and Facebook this morning I am again edified by the things I read. I am an emotional mess and He knows it. I need a daily reminder of His love for me and He is very much aware of it. I fight doubt as I recover from losing yet another house, fight fear as I face a mountain of debt and fight intense emotional pain as I face another Resurrection Day without my children. The loving Father that He is brings my attention back to Himself.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Over the past few days He has brought many reminders to me as I keep myself in a place where He feeds my spirit. He has good plans for my future (Jer. 29:11). He will restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). He has His Spirit interceding on my behalf with groaning too deep for words (Rom 8:26-27). He helps me to wait for Him, to keep His way (Ps 37:34).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;How much longer must I wait for the promised restoration of what was taken from me? How much longer must I wait for the return of my prodigal children? How much longer must I wait for the promised Joy that comes in the Morning? I don't know, but I do know the God of the Impossible. I do know that He loves me. I am even more reminded of this as we have just celebrated the Holiest weekend of the year where we remember our Savior's death and resurrection. He is risen – so how could I continue to wallow in my pain and sorrow? He who spared not His son will also freely restore to me what I am waiting for, just as He restored Job when the fullness of time has come. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Visit &lt;a href="http://author-tr-lipscomb.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#3333ff"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;T.R Lipscomb&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; at her blog where you will find more great articles, writings and about her book, Dearest Children.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Author Article Blasts by CBM &lt;a href="http://www.christian-book-marketing.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Christian Book Marketing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8683520958447765182-752622723233108621?l=compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com/2012/04/finding-love-in-midst-of-doubt-pain.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (In His Glorious Name Ministries Online)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DY9wDk22y4I/T4NuNF62_2I/AAAAAAAADrU/S3o174jSmlU/s72-c/Dearest%2BChildren.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683520958447765182.post-3276482144415251743</guid><pubDate>Sat, 31 Mar 2012 03:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-03-30T20:29:47.447-07:00</atom:updated><title>The Power of Prayer - A Must Read Book by Christian Author Samuel O.

Posner&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Author Carol J. Posner releases All Trial By Fire; an explosive testimony of a woman trapped in domestic violence and is a triumphant testimony to the love and healing power of God. In her revealing book, Carol's story begins with a tale of abuse and domestic violence, living a life of fear and isolation as she survived kidney failure through a life-giving kidney transplant. This book touches on such subjects as the importance of prayer and scripture, the reality of spiritual warfare, the strength of our forefathers/saints in the faith, the hidden pain of many in our society-the poor/abused/homeless, the trap of misunderstanding people in situations we haven't experienced, such as chronic illness or domestic violence and the drawbacks of depending on drugs and doctors for healing, but most importantly God's eternal love for us.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Carol's testimony is one of hope, perseverance, endurance and faith when all else looks hopeless. Her testimony calls out to those in despair and let's them know that they are not alone and there is hope within God, "…if only we will reach out to Him." Her testimony shouts that there is a God in Heaven and He cares for each one of us, more dearly than any earthly parent would or ever could. Her book proclaims that there is love, grace and healing to be found in the arms of the Father. Through her testimony, the author encourages others that we are never alone and that our Father in Heaven loves us as His own children. When the trials of life become overwhelming, the Lord will see us through.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Carol Posner is a Christian author who writes from the heart and truly has a god-given purpose in her life to reach out to those who are hurting. Having three grown children of her own and three precious granddaughters, the author resides in Southern California with her husband of over 30 years. She is her church's secretary and happily boasts, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose," as she knows that the Lord has healed her and transformed her life to be a testimony to others that it's never too late and God's hand is never too short.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;For more information about Author Carol J.

Joseph&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Experiencing Jesus' Joy is a must read for every Christian, whether a new or mature follower of Christ. This book will provide those who read it a deeper understanding of God&amp;#39;s Word, will, and direction for their lives. Through the reading of Experiencing Jesus&amp;#39; Joy, Dr. Joseph invites everyone to consider anew a close relationship with God in order that they may experience Jesus&amp;#39; joy on a daily basis as they help others know God more fully. By putting aside selfish desires and ambitions and being willing to give of themselves, Christ teaches His followers how to help others see the reality of God&amp;#39;s love and enter into His eternal family. As individuals truly surrender their lives to the Father and His good purposes, they start realizing the same type of joy that Jesus did when He died a sinner&amp;#39;s death on a cross making eternal life available for all who would start listening to God. Those who listen do so because they start realizing how much God really loves them and all others.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Brother James&amp;#39; main passion is to help as many as possible come to understand God's heart-felt desire for them to join Him and His eternal close-knit holy family for eternity. Through the reading of Experiencing Jesus&amp;#39; Joy, Dr. Joseph will show his readers that following Christ will open the door to a new life that allows God to developing His personal attributes of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in them. The benefit of following Christ who also obediently follows His Heavenly Father starts immediately not waiting for some future time in Heaven, which will be great.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;After over thirty years of ministry, Brother James has written this particular book to help as many as possible come to know their God-given purpose in life and experience more godly joy as they follow God&amp;#39;s lead day-by-day. Dr. Joseph is well aware that one of the most common complaints among Christians today is that they lack the love and joy that they felt when they first submitted to Christ and became a Christian. Godly joy, inner peace, and excitement can be re-kindled in their life to burn brighter than ever before as individuals realize anew how worthy God is of their submission to His lead and start following Him as He saves as many as will listen from a life of eternal suffering and shame. Jesus wants us all to experience the joy that He experienced at the Cross and that He still is experiencing as He leads as many as will listen through His followers into the eternal presence of His Father and ours.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Dr. Joseph learned the ancient languages of the Bible so that he could understand in-depth God&amp;#39;s message of love for all and then help others understand this great message more fully. He holds graduate degrees from Wake Forest University, Hood Theological Seminary, and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He was licensed as a Gospel minister in 2000 and ordained as a pastor in 2007. He presently teaches the Bible in the seminary at Liberty University. His earlier book, Victory in Jesus: Being a Child of God (1997), brought great reviews from many Christian leaders of various denominations. It is clear from his writings, that Brother James wants those who will follow Jesus to work together as the Family of God and minister to a world that desperately needs God and His salvation.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;To find out more about the author, his ministry and his books visit the author's website &lt;a href="http://www.injesusservice.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:#3366ff"&gt;In Jesus' Service&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

Starr&lt;br&gt;ISBN # 978-1469137933&lt;br&gt;Review Date: February 23, 2012&lt;br&gt;Reviewed by CBM Christian Book Reviews&lt;br&gt;10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Blessings of Knighthood&amp;quot; by Author Brian Daniel Starr is an intricate and extensive educational book that divulges the secrets of the Christian/Judea religion that are not visible to the average Christian, who without a study of genealogy and knighthood, would have no knowledge of the subject. As the author states, &amp;quot;All the secrets of the known religion are no doubt in the Vatican and are known to different families and orders.&amp;quot; This book will uncover the subject of Knighthood, Saints, genealogy of the ancient Israelite Priests and biblical figures while giving a comprehensive look at the nine most worthy warriors of times past from three eras: the Christian era, the Hebrew (Biblical) era and from three other cultures-Roman, Greek and Macedonian. This unique work is a valuable and highly informative read if one views history and genealogy, knighthood and sainthood in the right light, holding to the perception that these subjects play a very important part in our world, our history and our religions.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;With careful observation and exhaustive research that is available in this modern day and would not be obtainable in the past as the author states, Brian Daniel Starr has left a legacy of genealogy going back to the mysteries of the Priest and the Knight, discussing the Crucifixion of the Lord, giving an overview of the branches of Jerusalem and the first century to the Five Generation Genesis of God to include the Davidic, Aaronic Levitical, the Gamalas and the Arimethia lineages. The author continues his research to traverse this wide span of knowledge into charts and graphs, giving the reader a visual to the diverse landscape of genealogy. The author also discusses the descendants of Mary, the daughters of Mary, the sons of Mary and gives a rather extensive roll call of the all the famous Saints of Old as named in the Bible such as Mary, Joseph and James.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Concisely, the book reveals the lineage of the High Priests of Israel to include the lives from Ahab and Jehokim and follows with the ancient lineage of biblical figures such as Sarah, Abraham and Solomon&amp;#39;s marriage to the Queen of Egypt. This research also takes a look at some from the time of King David until the time of war of the Jews with Rome discussing how the Levitical line of Levi, the Israelite&amp;#39;s descendants, married into the house of David. The author systematically weaves in lineage from the Israelite Levi and continues by discussing the Order of Knighthood. Additional Saints from early Christianity are also included, as well as the lineage in some Greek mythology and ancient figures such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Sir Hector.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The author includes the apostle guardianship, the Law of the Lord, Law in the Knight and crimes and the prevention of them to include the blending of the religions Hebrew, Greek and Roman. This work is an exceptional research project that took many, many hours to complete. This read is a highly educational, thought provoking work, challenging the reader to unlock and know the secrets of histories past genealogy and lineage of the Christian/Judea religion.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;For more information about Author Brian Starr, the book Blessings of Knighthood and other books by Author Brian Starr, visit &lt;a href="http://www.briandstarr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#3d3da7"&gt;Brian D.

However, everyone&amp;#39;s belief cannot be true when it comes to God&amp;#39;s existence and identity. This is not uncaring or intolerant; it&amp;#39;s simply, as we have just reviewed how truth works. If truth could contradict itself, a Christian and an Atheist would both be correct about God&amp;#39;s existence and we know this is impossible.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Suppose you were a detective and six people showed up (an Atheist, Buddhist, Muslim, Mormon, Hindu and Christian) with different stories claiming to be the sole heir of a tremendous fortune. Could they all be telling the truth? No, you would immediately recognize the obvious problem, six people claiming to be the sole heir is a contradiction and could not possibly be true.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Therefore you would check out their stories and follow the evidence to uncover the truth. At some point their explanations would be contradictory to the facts in your investigation. Once you discover who the actual heir is, you would know for certain that the other five claims were false, no matter how close to the truth they appeared.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;When it comes to God we have a similar situation. Many people have shown up and claim to know the truth about God. On the surface it may seem like most of them are headed in the same direction. But when we look closer, we see that they all contradict each other when it comes to the most important points, like salvation. Christianity is the sole belief that teaches salvation by God&amp;#39;s grace, through faith alone. The others teach works (good deeds) and specific conditions as a necessity. Both can&amp;#39;t be right.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let&amp;#39;s Dig Deeper Into The Truth and Find The Answers&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;For a further in depth look into the above thought provoking article, visit &lt;a href="http://www.god-evidence-truth.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:#a72525"&gt;Gravity, True For You But Not For Me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; where you will find an abundance of thought provoking information about eternal life.

Romans 8:28 states (NIV), &amp;quot;And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.&amp;quot; We can rest assured that even though there are trials, tragedies and hardships in life, if we live our life according to God&amp;#39;s plans and purposes, He will work everything out in our life for good. Get ready to sit down, relax and enjoy this beautifully written book full of hope, encouragement and faith through the story of one family that overcame life&amp;#39;s adversities through oneness in Christ.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Author, Theresa Franklin does a wonderful job in administering to the heart of families and encouraging families to stick together in love through this fictional short story. We all know what our lives look from the outside. But when we examine our family life from the inside, more than we like to admit, one will find dysfunction in the home. When we come to a place of acknowledging our sins and confessing them to God, God can work on our behalf. The author asks these important questions and urges us all to spend, &amp;quot;…time in front of God&amp;#39;s mirror and try to see what those who know you best actually see? Are you a Christian? Have you accepted Christ as your savior?&amp;quot; In that, the author is asking, are you walking the walk and talking the talk? So many people profess to be Christians, but as Christians we should be exhibiting love, respect and service to our families in the home as well. If not, this book will lead the way to a new path of wholeness in Christ for families.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Driven by emotions, control, negativity, judgment and perfectionism, Cynthia is in complete denial of her behavior towards her family members. Severely affected, the husband is miserable, and her children avoid her as much as possible. Inevitably when there is dysfunction in the home, the author states, the stress can be measured in emotional and physical illnesses. Although the book is a fictional story, the author has described a very real and believable picture of how life is in our own families sometimes. The Owens family is torn from the inside out, due to stresses from the contention and discord caused by one family member suffering from deep emotional wounds caused from her own dysfunctional childhood.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;This book is truly a blessing to families and the body of Christ. The author, through the use of scriptures and examples of family life, paints a wonderful picture of how life can be through the love and redemption of Jesus Christ. The author promotes family in this story of healing and encourages others, that &amp;quot;…love covereth a multitude of sins.&amp;quot; Families will find solace and comfort through this book. &lt;a href="http://theresa-lifesjourney.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#bf4e27"&gt;Theresa&amp;#39;s Franklin&amp;#39;s&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; writing style flows smoothly making for an easy read, keeping the reader fully engaged. This book will minister to all families that are &amp;quot;less than perfect.&amp;quot; A highly recommend, encouraging read that will impact others for Christ. God can work in any situation, as the author illustrates, even the impossible ones.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Triumph-Through-Trial-Renewal-ebook/dp/B006HVH24S" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#4386ce"&gt;Triumph Through Trial, A Story of Renewal By Author Theresa Franklin&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Highly Recommended&lt;br&gt;10.0 on a scale of 10.0 stars&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christian-book-marketing.com/html/book_reviews.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#4386ce"&gt;Book Review by CBM Christian Book Reviews&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8683520958447765182-4209552660779209225?l=compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com/2012/01/cbm-christian-book-reviews-triumph.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (In His Glorious Name Ministries Online)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LUPOBjdcgOU/TwPMZUptK6I/AAAAAAAADYk/CasriWWzO-c/s72-c/Theresa%2BFranklin%252C%2BAuthor.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683520958447765182.post-1434905138205929577</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-01T16:12:45.730-08:00</atom:updated><title>Prayer Request, Calvary Chapel's Chuck Smith Announces That He Has Lung Cancer</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TBm_ghRhspM/TwDsJVCRVpI/AAAAAAAAGRE/yFZYbwkl0-4/s1600/Dan%2BWooding%2B_Pastor%2BChuck%2BSmith.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="MIN-HEIGHT: 139px; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TBm_ghRhspM/TwDsJVCRVpI/AAAAAAAAGRE/yFZYbwkl0-4/s200/Dan%2BWooding%2B_Pastor%2BChuck%2BSmith.jpg" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Dearest in Christ, Please join us in prayer for Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel.

Please Lord keep Chuck with us so that others might hear your precious word. You have blessed Chuck all these years. I know he will not waste his cancer and you will use it for you glory."&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;In a previous tribute to Chuck Smith, ANS correspondent, Brian Nixon, who for several years co-hosted Pastors Perspective with Chuck Smith, wrote: "Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement and one of the key figureheads of the Jesus Movement, has touched the hearts and lives of countless of people in his six decades of ministry.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;"Not to mention his influence upon the fabric of Christian culture: from the 2,000 plus Calvary Chapel churches spanning the globe to the praise-and-worship phenomena initiated in the 1960's. His impact looms large in the halls of modern Christian history.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;"Sadly, however, Pastor Chuck had a brief setback, suffering a couple of what were described as 'mini-strokes' at his home on December 27, 2009.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"I was blessed to have worked side-by-side with Pastor Chuck for almost eight years, covering numerous fields: education, publishing, radio, and television.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;"Not only was I able to glean from his words, thoughts, answers, and actions, on a weekly basis, but I was also able to watch him in a variety of situations: answering questions on a radio program we hosted together, cooperating with him on books, brainstorming and praying with him through tough educational situations. And, most special of all, to watch his interaction with other human beings.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;"Let me say that ... Pastor Chuck is a true gentleman. He is a man who understands God's grace and the need for people to experience that grace in the love of Christ."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I ask all of our ANS readers to pray for a swift recovery for this great Man of God, that he may be able to continue his amazing ministry for many more years to come.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;ASSIST News Service (ANS) - PO Box 609, Lake Forest, CA 92609-0609 USAVisit our web site at: &lt;a href="http://www.assistnews.net/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;http://www.assistnews.net/&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; -- E-mail: &lt;a href="mailto:assistnews@aol.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;assistnews@aol.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8683520958447765182-1434905138205929577?l=compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com/2012/01/prayer-request-calvary-chapels-chuck.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (In His Glorious Name Ministries Online)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TBm_ghRhspM/TwDsJVCRVpI/AAAAAAAAGRE/yFZYbwkl0-4/s72-c/Dan%2BWooding%2B_Pastor%2BChuck%2BSmith.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683520958447765182.post-8421461812102659824</guid><pubDate>Thu, 29 Dec 2011 04:13:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-12-28T20:13:42.944-08:00</atom:updated><title>A Creative, Awe-Inspiring Book by Charles Duane Henley - Daydreams and Night Visions</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4gQ59Hsxpw8/Tvvkqn5lSEI/AAAAAAAAGQ4/1AeHBs3yMT8/s1600/Author_Charles_Henley.PNG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="MIN-HEIGHT: 200px; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 167px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4gQ59Hsxpw8/Tvvkqn5lSEI/AAAAAAAAGQ4/1AeHBs3yMT8/s200/Author_Charles_Henley.PNG" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Title: Daydreams and Night Visions&lt;br&gt; Author: Charles Duane Henley&lt;br&gt;ISBN # 978-1466482685&lt;br&gt;Review Date: December 27, 2011&lt;br&gt;Reviewed by CBM Christian Book Reviews&lt;br&gt;10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Daydreams and Night Visions&amp;quot; is a unique collection of beautifully written Holy Spirit inspired prophetic poems, parables and revelations intertwined with author Charles Duane Henley&amp;#39;s life testimony. In his book, the author leaves a legacy of eloquent and passion filled poetry that combines his own life experiences and the salvation, comfort and sweet mercies of the Lord Jesus Christ, his Savior. He openly confesses the sins, the trials and the experiences that led him away from Christ as a teen and gladly reveals an amazing journey that led him back into the arms of a loving Father in Heaven. Find encouragement, hope, comfort and faith through the pages of this book. The author&amp;#39;s highest hope is that he may share the depth of the love Christ has for each one of us through his poetry and testimony.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;As a child once on fire for the Lord, worldly temptations and lusts subtly led the author to a place of sin and addiction that he could never have imagined himself entrapped in. As the proverbial prodigal son, the author describes his amazing 4-day walk that led him back to Christ at a crucial point in his life. An amazing transformation took place on that day as, &amp;quot;The Lord raised me from the dead, &amp;quot; candidly states the author.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Anointed, filled with the Holy Ghost and on fire for the Lord, the author has captured his heart and visions from the Lord through prophetic poems and parables. Listing them in categories, he speaks of many to include his story of addiction, bondage to sin and the torment of his soul while trapped in these sins. The author describes the battle that had begun over his soul, while continuing to describe visions seen of the unseen realm behind the veil as the Lord revealed to him. Henley has also included revelation of the sixth seal in the Book of Revelation and of things to come, such as the rapture of the church. The author also shares the immense love of God through categories such as, &amp;quot;We&amp;#39;re Not Alone&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Wilderness Wanderings&amp;quot;. As the author has openly shared, these writings and poems were written and inspired by the Holy Spirit. The author has put down on paper with his pen what the Holy Spirit laid upon his heart to write for the world to read and ponder in awe and faith.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;This creative, awe-inspiring book will breath life into your soul as the beautiful poetry unfolds throughout the book. This work of creativity is a true gem, a magnificent work of the Lord, as it shares of Christ&amp;#39;s saving grace and love throughout the book.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;This book is a wonderful way to evangelize and share the love of Christ with others, especially loved ones walking far from Christ or those trapped in addiction or sin. Bringing hope, faith and encouragement, the words of this book will light a fire in the hearts of the readers for Christ and Him alone. &amp;quot;Daydreams and Night Visions&amp;quot; comes highly recommended - a magnificent and touching true life story of a man redeemed by Jesus Christ that will touch your heart and soul.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://daydreams-nightvisions.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;Daydreams and Night Visions By Charles Duane Henley&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Highly Recommended&lt;br&gt;10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:#3333ff"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christian-book-marketing.com/html/book_reviews.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;Books Reviews by CBM Christian Book Reviews&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8683520958447765182-8421461812102659824?l=compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com/2011/12/creative-awe-inspiring-book-by-charles.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (In His Glorious Name Ministries Online)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4gQ59Hsxpw8/Tvvkqn5lSEI/AAAAAAAAGQ4/1AeHBs3yMT8/s72-c/Author_Charles_Henley.PNG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683520958447765182.post-3700060898331872689</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Dec 2011 05:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-12-11T21:47:42.330-08:00</atom:updated><title>A Unique Love Story by Author Michael Haden - A Deal With God - The Power of One</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zHCuaxlfIow/TuWDtDpeoTI/AAAAAAAADRk/XhgHP_oL6FM/s1600/ADealWithGodCover.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="MIN-HEIGHT: 303px; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 201px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zHCuaxlfIow/TuWDtDpeoTI/AAAAAAAADRk/XhgHP_oL6FM/s320/ADealWithGodCover.jpg" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Title: A Deal With God-The Power of One&lt;br&gt; By: Author Michael Haden&lt;br&gt;ISBN# 978-0-9847474-0-5&lt;br&gt;Review Date: December 10, 2011&lt;br&gt;Reviewed by: CBM Christian Book Reviews&lt;br&gt;9.9 on a scale of 10.0 stars&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A Deal With God-The Power of One is a unique love story inspired by a true story and real events.

Marsha has been featured on &amp;quot;Life Today&amp;quot; with James and Betty Robison and CBN&amp;#39;s 700 Club with her amazing testimony. Her story is a familiar one; at the time, she had no idea the ripple effect her adulterous affair would have in her life, nor that her moral failure would ever be discovered. What makes this book so extraordinary is that the author is brazenly honest and surprisingly transparent as she takes the reader back to her time of playing with the fire of adultery. Not only did she get burned in the process, being reduced to a pile of ashes, but her husband, her children, her close friends and family, extended friends and even acquaintances all learned that no one can play with fire and not get burned. Not only was her life forever changed, but also that of everyone she knew.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;This book is a wake-up call to all who might consider adultery as some light thing. Not only is this book a warning, it provides substantial scriptural application that shows how not to &amp;#39;build your house on sinking sand&amp;#39; while yet offering great hope. That hope is forgiveness and the absolute Truth of God&amp;#39;s Word.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;It has been Marsha&amp;#39;s desire in writing this book to minister to those who are in or who are considering an adulterous relationship. It&amp;#39;s a warning, a chance to turn away from those things which might cause you or your loved ones great harm. Marsha eloquently delves into her emotions and what happened to cause her to want to stray from her marriage. She did not set out to destroy anyone and thought she could get away with &amp;quot;her little game&amp;quot; as she puts it, without anyone ever finding out. Little did she know that the destruction that was planned for her was far beyond what she could have ever imagined and the price was so great that she lost everything she held dear. That was the enemy&amp;#39;s plan for her life and those involved. That is always his plan. He comes to steal, kill and destroy.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;A great understanding of the enemy&amp;#39;s (Satan&amp;#39;s) vices used against us as believers and non-believers will have been laid bare by reading this book. The enemy is looking to bring destruction and misery anyway he can and temptation is one of his devices. Far too many Americans have tasted the bittersweet, but devastating sting of adultery. The divorce rate in America is almost at 50% and unfortunately, Christians are no exception, as the author&amp;#39;s memoir so vividly reveals. The author also reiterates the obvious truth of why God hates divorce; there is always destruction involved.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;But there is hope, that hope is found in a loving Savior who died for our sins. The promise of that covenant is written in blood-His own blood for eternity. It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how deep of a pit you might be in or what your condition might be, no sin is too great and it&amp;#39;s never to late to turn to Jesus Christ as your Savior. This book lovingly testifies to the great love, mercy and grace of God and how, when you surrender your life to the Lord how He can turn your life around for the good.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Come and learn how to build your house on the Rock, so that when the storms of life come, your house will still be left standing!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From Sinking Sand by &lt;a href="http://www.marshalenski.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#00ff80"&gt;&lt;font color="#3333ff"&gt;Author Marsha Lenski&lt;br&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Highly Recommended&lt;br&gt;10.0 on a scale of 10.0 stars&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christian-book-marketing.com/html/book_reviews.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#3333ff"&gt;Book Review by, Christian Book Reviews &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8683520958447765182-3933215160990489627?l=compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com/2011/12/author-marsha-lenski-from-sinking-sand.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (In His Glorious Name Ministries Online)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1rGi6m8vWAw/Tt0ruI4Y_zI/AAAAAAAAGQg/M-WqMU1t58Y/s72-c/marsha_lenski_book.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683520958447765182.post-5229641811820676695</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Dec 2011 08:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-12-02T00:50:13.253-08:00</atom:updated><title>Press Release - "A Gift To Women", WWDKG, Woman With Destiny in the Kingdom of God, by Marsha Lenski</title><description>&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: #956839"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kVgWiGXHKSI/TthQB9VDdUI/AAAAAAAADLs/TTtitwoYpqw/s1600/WWDKG-final-cover-200x300.jpg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681378924500841794" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kVgWiGXHKSI/TthQB9VDdUI/AAAAAAAADLs/TTtitwoYpqw/s400/WWDKG-final-cover-200x300.jpg" border="0"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: #000000"&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;br&gt; (A CBM Press Release December 1, 2011)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: #000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Destiny Awaits Her!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Prepare to experience something beyond the ordinary! A woman wanting to touch the hem of Jesus&amp;#39; garment will be swept away on an incredible journey of discovery and love. Pause, soak in and hold tightly to the message from Christian author and speaker &lt;strong&gt;Marsha Lenski&lt;/strong&gt; in her inspiring new book &lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WWDKG&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;, &lt;u&gt;Woman With Destiny in the Kingdom of God&lt;/u&gt;. Curl up in that comfy chair with this wonderful new devotional and study of God&amp;#39;s Word for the feminine heart!&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;There&amp;#39;s a place in every woman&amp;#39;s life where she deserves a standing ovation,&amp;quot; Marsha declares from the very first word. Every woman deserves to know a loving God agrees and calls her forward in a burst of heavenly applause. &lt;strong&gt;WWDKG&lt;/strong&gt; is a lighthouse to wholeness and the secret that needs to come out: she is a gift to her world!&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WWDKG&lt;/strong&gt; speaks to a woman&amp;#39;s Kingdom destiny and how it is designed with the delicacy of a fine crystal frame meant to hold the original artwork of her legacy. To God, her destiny will be as unique as the prints from the touch her fingertips leave behind, but it &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;won&amp;#39;t&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; be an accident. Here a woman learns anew how to let God love her through Jesus Christ. Here is the devotional for one woman or for many to read together again and again.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;A woman will have many encounters.

Lavish this one gift upon yourself or a lady in your life you want to applaud and encourage. No woman who reads it will be the same or ever want to settle again for anything less.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Marsha Lenski is the author of two previous books, &lt;u&gt;From Sinking Sand&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;Pure Intentions&lt;/u&gt;. Each is filled to the brim with heart-passion to propel her readers to an appreciation for their God-given uniqueness and call. Her amazing and sometimes startling transparency will stretch your thinking and open your mind to the possibilities for healing, forgiveness and personal growth in spite of tremendous odds and impossibilities.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Marsha Lenski has opened her life on national television interviews that include &amp;quot;Life Today&amp;quot; with James and Betty Robison and CBN&amp;#39;s 700 Club. In these interviews Marsha discusses her own moral failure described in her book &lt;u&gt;From Sinking Sand&lt;/u&gt;, a must-read for the brokenness this country knows very well. She candidly reveals how God led her from the self-destructive blindness of adultery to the healing path of redemption and true self-discovery in the love of Jesus. Pat Robertson told audiences, &amp;quot;Marsha Lenski&amp;#39;s story has touched a nerve in this nation.&amp;quot; A courageous read you won&amp;#39;t want to miss!&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Women stand in line to hear Marsha share her love and passion, encouraging each to let God love her. One woman testified to the work of God in Marsha&amp;#39;s life: &amp;quot;Marsha is a unique blend of steel and velvet. The Lord has developed in her the ability to be strong when needed, yet also to be a source of comfort and compassion. I have watched her in joyous times and in brutal times, and witnessed first-hand that dignity, courage and integrity are attributes of her character.

Antionette Campbell's life was filled with abuse from a very young age. Then at the age of 11 she witnessed a horrific crime perpetrated against her mother by her drunken father. In a rage, her father stabbed her mother 3 times in the head as she watched her mother lifeless and what seemed to be left for dead. Exasperating the horrific event, her and all the other children were put into foster care. Later the event was to be relived as she was forced to testify against her own father.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;As the author began to share her heart and trials, this brilliant combination of poetry and story was the outlet to her healing from the pit of despair that entrapped her most of her life. God's saving grace compelled her to fill the beautifully written pages in giving hope to the end to those that are wounded and broken spiritually.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Antionette Campbell has done various interviews and radio shows to include Joyce Bender on Disability Matters, Cornerstone Television Network, Word FM, Moms on a Mission to Stop Violence just to name a few and is a member and speaker for RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest, National Network).

She states, it doesn&amp;#39;t matter who you are or how deep you have fallen into despair or how tight the chains of bondage that may have a strong hold in your life. God&amp;#39;s power will set you free and transform you from the inside into a new journey that&amp;#39;s only found in Christ. The testimonials of this proof resonates continually through those letters she&amp;#39;s received that have encountered and embraced the availability of God&amp;#39;s hand in this book for us all.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Author Antionette Campbell is available for various speaking engagements to include youth camps, churches and women conferences as well.

My Sons Are Jewish is a must-read for every Christian practicing the Judeo-Christian faith. Enlightening, unique and enriching this book will not only lay the foundation for the Christian faith, but gives insight and thorough understanding of the Jewish people and their prominence in history. With this book you will find an increased faith in God, a deeper appreciation for God and His love for the Jewish people. A profound appreciation for His chosen people is also keenly acquired through this informative book.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Author Paula Clayman invites the reader on a journey to discover, not only the Jewish roots of the Christian faith and answers the question of "Who is a Jew", but additionally, she delivers a noteworthy book by giving the reader God's plan of salvation to humanity through the Jewish people. Without the knowledge of the love of God towards the Jewish people and knowledge of the covenant given to Abraham and how all people of the world be blessed through that promise, recognition of who the Jewish people are would be severely lacking. Distinctive and impressive, this book is an absorbing and fascinating easy-read that gives a comprehensive history of the Jewish heritage and lineage. Without this heritage and lineage of the Jewish people, it would be easy to miss the love, dedication and reason to pray for Israel and why God's chosen people are at the very core of Christianity.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Rich with scripture and history, the author masterfully weaves the divine thread that connects Christian believers and Jews alike to the Messiah thereby establishing the Jewish lineage and heritage. The book begins first with a detailed biblical overview of God's plan of salvation to humanity through Adam. However, God's plan of salvation did not stop with the fall of Adam in the garden, but continued through to Noah, then through Abraham and on to Judah and then ultimately through David and the Davidic throne of David.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;This book is paramount in understanding the role that the Jewish people play in God's plan of salvation. The author shares her vast knowledge of the subject of the Jewish lineage through many years of studying the scriptures, The Torah and many other books. She shares openly with the readers that her husband and sons are also Jewish which led her on this journey to discover their Jewish roots and hers as well, being a Christian.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;This book is also a very powerful scriptural teaching that gives biblical insight into the truth of God's word, His love of His chosen people and how all people of the world are blessed through that Promise given to Abraham. A highly recommended must-read book for every Christian or Jewish person seeking a deeper relationship and walk with God.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paulaclayman.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#aa77aa"&gt;My Sons Are Jewish - The Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith by Author Paula Clayman&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Very Highly Recommended&lt;br&gt;10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars&lt;br&gt; Reviewed by: &lt;a href="http://www.christian-book-marketing.com/html/book_reviews.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#aa77aa"&gt;Christian Book Reviews &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8683520958447765182-2219794819593987169?l=compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com/2011/10/author-paula-claymans-my-sons-are.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (In His Glorious Name Ministries Online)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Sru4sX2Jl6A/Tp28ft-4RTI/AAAAAAAAGQE/xihwzWfLhW4/s72-c/My_Sons_Jewish_cover.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683520958447765182.post-7413467449659341945</guid><pubDate>Fri, 30 Sep 2011 01:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-09-29T18:09:47.918-07:00</atom:updated><title>Man of God - A Wonderful Christian Novel by Author Debra Diaz</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FN3m_8iQMjI/ToKPXpWksNI/AAAAAAAADDU/PEh3heqkVzI/s1600/MAN_OF_GOD.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657241718331060434" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 204px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 276px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FN3m_8iQMjI/ToKPXpWksNI/AAAAAAAADDU/PEh3heqkVzI/s400/MAN_OF_GOD.jpg" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Title: Man Of God&lt;br&gt; Author: Debra Diaz&lt;br&gt;Date Reviewed: September 26, 2011&lt;br&gt;Reviewed by: Christian Book Reviews&lt;br&gt;10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Man of God&amp;quot; by Debra Diaz, sequel to the her first epic novel, &amp;quot;Woman of Sin&amp;quot;, continues the adventure and saga of true love, dedication, perseverance, romance, undying love for family and for Christ.

Young Alysia, now set free from slavery and Paulus Valerius Maximus, her true love, who has now taken Alysia as his wife, are both now steadfast believers in Christ, yet fugitives ever since Alysia&amp;#39;s accusation of murdering an elite Roman.

Consider the other day: I woke up at 6 a.m., taking care to adjust the firmness of my Sleep Number bed so that I would be able to sit up and slide out of bed. A soft mattress just means that as I attempt to sit up I will just fall backwards increasing the spasticity and tone in my legs rendering my legs useless. The tone and spasticity only becoming greater with each attempt to sit up, of course it&amp;#39;s morning so I have to urinate and the more I flop around on the bed like a flounder the more urgent that need becomes. And, we all know that as the situation becomes more dire it becomes more stressful resulting in greater tone in my legs. From there, I managed to get into my motorized chair. (My power chair, grunt, grunt! Sounds masculine doesn&amp;#39;t it? Well, hold on, because I&amp;#39;m about to be emasculate).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;I shot into my beautifully-renovated handicapped-accessible bathroom. Utilizing a jungle gym of grab bars I managed to sit myself onto the toilet but my legs were locked tightly together in front of me, toes pointing at the ceiling, not exactly the position most conducive for a guy to empty his bladder. What to do, what to do? Not much time to consider that. We were down to the buzzer, as they say. I grabbed a towel and threw it on my lap. Ahhh... Sometimes a guy just has to do what he has to do. Spasticity sucks! Time for a shower.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Is there any relief beyond the frequently prescribed drugs life Baclofen and Zannaflex? Yes, there is... it&amp;#39;s called Botox. Botox the same stuff injected by many to reduce wrinkles in one&amp;#39;s face,, by temporarily paralyzing the facial muscles has been used successfully to reduce and in many cases eliminate spatisity and tone. I have been getting Botox injections in my thighs, calves and ankles every two or three months for the past year and I feel like a new man. Stressful situations still bring on the tone, but for the most part the tone is gone. My knees bend easily for simple entry and exhibiting to and from the passenger seat of the car. When I am sitting in my wheelchair my knees are bent and my feet are on the floor. Don&amp;#39;t just take my word for it... read my friend Ami&amp;#39;s testimony below...&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Ami says, &amp;quot;O&amp;quot;Okay the botox shots have helped a ton! I don&amp;#39;t feel my legs any weaker than before, but the spasticity has gone down a lot! I can bend my legs without having to pry them to bend, can straighten them and they&amp;#39;ll relax and start bending in, my feet go flat,and my legs open a little! (hard to self cath when your legs are locked closed!) and I can sleep once again in my normal position! Although I end up back on my side. Should have had this done a LONG time ago!!&amp;quot;I have to agree with Ami... Why did I go years, before giving the Botox injections a shot? Pun intended, smile. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Be sure to visit Chris at his author&amp;#39;s website &lt;a href="http://www.lifeinterrupted-nolonger.com/"&gt;&lt;font color="#3366ff"&gt;Life Interrupted, It&amp;#39;s Not All About Me&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR: both"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8683520958447765182-1452481793543814864?l=compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://compassion-of-christ.blogspot.com/2011/09/ms-paralyzing-spasticity-intention.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (In His Glorious Name Ministries Online)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MzZlupD0ZA0/Tm-B8-M2lBI/AAAAAAAAGP8/gPEmA3uB_wk/s72-c/Book%2BEvents.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683520958447765182.post-5219013084409240777</guid><pubDate>Sat, 10 Sep 2011 19:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-09-10T12:41:08.613-07:00</atom:updated><title>Christian Book Review - Made in the Image of God by Reid A.

Ashbaucher&lt;br&gt;ISBN # 978-1-936076-78-9&lt;br&gt;Review Date: September 8, 2011&lt;br&gt;Reviewed by: Christian Book Reviews&lt;br&gt;10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Author Reid A. Ashbaucher, states in his book Made in the Image of God, "…the purpose of this book-to help define and reveal, in a new light, the concept of a triune God and his image imbedded, by design, in mankind." (p.66) Thus this is the essence of this book, to understand God, his design and the nature of things. The author challenges the reader to dig deeper into the scriptures to find knowledge of Him who created mankind.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;To know God is to seek Him, have faith in Him and who He is. To gain a deeper revelation and understanding of Him is to acquire knowledge with understanding of who He is and who we are as humans. This book offers just that. Come gain a deeper understanding of the Word of God, who God is as the Creator of the Universe and who we are as we relate to him in an ever changing world.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;This book offers a wealth of information from a man that has studied the Word of God and holds many theological degrees. Based on nothing but the Holy Scriptures, this book offers at times technical scientific ways as to understanding who God is, His Nature and Personhood. How do we relate to God who is Spirit, whom we cannot see, but yet believe is the Creator of the Universe and the giver of life?

Mrkvicka Jr. with Kelly Helen Mrkvicka&lt;br&gt;ISBN # 978 -1- 61777-768-4&lt;br&gt;Review Date: August 28, 2011&lt;br&gt;Reviewed by: Christian Book Reviews&lt;br&gt;10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;No Innocent Affair by Edward F. Mrkvicka Jr. with Kelly Helen Mrkvicka takes a look at the plague of the 21st century and one of the main contributors to the destruction of the American family-the sin of Adultery. Being a lay minister and a man who has studied the Word for many years, the author, Edward F. Mrkvicka Jr., gives not his opinion, but gives the absolute truth of God's Word through an extensive categorical list of scripture therefore laying first a biblical foundation. Then by clearly stating first God's view and comparing it with Society's view, the author lays bare the truth about adultery and the devastating consequences of adultery, not only to the person who commits the sin, but to others we love in our life who are the innocent victims of this pervasive ripple effect sin that is so prevalent in our society.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Most do no realize the far-reaching consequences of the sin of adultery in their lives, nor the cost and the author makes no mistake that there is no such thing as 'an innocent affair'. This book is an eye opener for most and highly recommended for anyone either contemplating an adulterous affair or for those who may have been entangled in an adulterous affair. The author shows the way out with some of most practical teachings culminated from the infallible Word of God to bring others out of their sin and into the light of the Lord.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Openly, but lovingly, the author shares the unavoidable, yet dire consequences of adultery and reveals that not only does it affect our lives spiritually and physically, but the sin has a ripple effect that goes on to "… virtually every innocent person in our lives" (p.11). The consequences are so monumental, that no one in their right mind "armed" with the truth of God's Word would commit adultery, but sadly, the author concedes from a recent survey, "…that over 88 percent of Americans believe adultery is wrong. Yet 77 percent of marriages involve at least one adultery." This alarming fact in our society today is bringing many to the wide-path of destruction. Quite simply put, it is choosing death over life.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Edward Mrkvicka's true desire is two-fold, first for all those that may be contemplating adultery to know the absolute truth of God's Word and the dire consequences and for those that are in an adulterous affair or have been in the past that they would also realize the devastating consequences and that the truth would bring true repentance in their life. Lastly, Mrkvicka's desire is that all would receive eternal life in Jesus Christ. Again, the author does not give his opinion, but God's view and His Holy Word. This book offers no excuses, nor apologies, but gives the truth of the Word of God. This book is truly a blessing to the body of Christ and to all who read it.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;This subject is not an easy subject to be discussed, nor is it very popular, but with so many on the path to destruction in our society it is a must read for anyone entangled in or contemplating adultery. This fascinating and well-written book exposes the truth and deception in the sin of adultery and brings forth light to the subject. Thankfully, the author ends that there is hope and states, "God can save us" (p.11). For there is one hope, and that one hope is the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ. Come, read, know the truth and be set free.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.edwardfmrkvickajr.com/index.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#99aadd"&gt;No Innocent Affair by Edward F.
